Abstract:
Researchers have recently focused on the effects of non-financial factors on auditors’ judgment. One of the important non-financial factors having a negative impact on auditors’ objectivity is transformational client leadership. The main purpose of this research was to examine the effect of transformational client leadership on objectivity in auditors’ judgment. The statistical population of this study included professional auditors working in trusted audit institutions of the Stock Exchange. The statistical sample in this study consisted of 163 independent auditors as members of trusted audit institutions of the Stock Exchange in 2017-2018. The data were collected via a questionnaire and then analyzed using AMOS software. The findings of this study reveal a significant and negative relationship between transformational client leadership and objectivity in auditor’s judgment and the impact of transformational client leadership on auditor’s objectivity is also partly mediated by client identification, using Structural Equation Modeling at 95% confidence level. Accordingly, transformational client leadership has a positive effect on client identification, and client identification also positively influences auditor’s client acquiescence. Furthermore, the results of the research show that auditor tenure with client, client importance, and client image have a positive impact on client identification. In addition, firm tenure with client has a positive effect on the variable of auditor’s client acquiescence.
